The Original Amateur Hour information


1950 trade advertisement

The Original Amateur Hour is an American radio and television program. The show was a continuation of Major Bowes Amateur Hour, which had been a radio staple from 1934 to 1945. Major Edward Bowes, the originator of the program and its master of ceremonies, left the show in 1945 and died the following year. He was ultimately succeeded by Ted Mack, when the show was brought into television in 1948.[1]

The show is a progenitor of later, similar programs such as Star Search, American Idol and America's Got Talent.
